The Book of Ruin brings the full ferocity of the cults of Necromunda to bear against the planet’s beleaguered defenders. Form a Genestealer Cults, Helot Chaos Cults or Corpse Grinder Cult gang, or even corrupt your existing house gang!

This month White Dwarf contains Syll’Esske Mini Battletome for Age Of Sigmar !!

Syll’Esske is unusual among the daemonic hosts of the Dark Gods, in that they are in fact a symbiosis of two separate entities. Syll Lewdtongue is a Herald of Slaanesh, while the towering form of Esske the Scarred is that of a mortal who was raised to the rank of Daemon Prince by the grace of their dark master. The irony is that, though circumstances conspired for the daemon and once-mortal warrior to fight each other to the death on a bloody arena floor, those same events would see their fates become entwined forevermore in a relationship born of unparalleled devotion.

Really good to see these Warscrolls Battalions focusing on the Mortals side of Chaos !!!

Warhammer 40000 Chaos Knights

Codex

new codex, featuring all of the background and rules for Chaos Knights alongside specific Stratagems and Warlord Traits.
You’ll also be able to declare your traitorous Fallen house as either Iconoclast (those who follow a twisted code of chivalry) or Infernal (those sworn to the Dark Mechanicum) and select Pacts and Damnations for your Dreadblade Knights.

New dual kit A new model kit is also on the way, which will let you build your choice of Knight Desecrator (a mid- to close-range powerhouse) or a Knight Rampager (a frenzied close-combat butcher).

Cards

Blackstone Fortress Traitor Command

This expansion contains two brand-new models, which will initially only be available in this set – a Traitor Commissar and his bodyguard, a Chaos Ogryn.

Second Faction focus for the game : Warhammer 40000 Apocalypse and this time it's for the Chaos Space Marines.

Playstyle

In Warhammer 40000 Apocalypse CSM are considered an hyprid Mid range/ Close combat force. Stacking Aura Abilities is the intended play style. So we can expect as much options than Loyal Space Marines but with Daemons replacing all the Primaris stuff.

Heretic Astartes get this special rule :

Top Units

Khorne Lord of Skulls

Using the new Damage Phase mechanism, the lord of skull get a interesting ability :

So Activating this Detachment last is going to be Primordial !!! Check here if to read how is it going to work : https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/3919

Abaddon The Despoiler

Being the Warmaster is really fitting in this game don't you think ? Also He deliver 2 very strong Aura that make him already auto include ^^

Also he get a simili invulnerable Save of 3+ using a D12 against all size Blast Marker. Because in this game you roll a Different Dices size against Small and Large Blast Marker, but we'll get more details on this tomorow.

Chaos Space Marines

Fielding squad of 20 Chaos Marines is so Fluffy!! In a Warhammer 40000 Apocalypse game it's a superb objective holder ! Also being 20 allow some Conga line exploit (0.5'' unit coherency limiting the effect) to benefit from multiple aura.

Top Command Assets

Chaos Space Marine Command Assets allow them to unleash tactical ploys and malefic powers that have some incredible effects on the battlefield.

With this power we learn that units can be Critically Damaged and suffer Malus. This Command asset allow a Slaanesh unit to ignore these malus and gain a 1 attack for each wounds marker. Transforming a Slaanesh Multi wound models in a Mowing BEAST (just before getting killed ^^)

Really like the direction Warhammer 40000 Apocalypse is taking. I hope it's going to be strategical enough to reward good play !! That's it for now, can't wait to learn more on the Damages and Save tomorow.

The Warhammer : Age of Sigmar seminar for this Warhammer Fest is done and here what we have learned :

Warcry

Warcry is the new game by Games Workshop in the Mortal realm (Age of Sigmar universe). It's a Skirmish game inspired by both Necromunda and Kill Team, where Chaos Warband fight each others to the death or Glory in Varanspire the Archaon Citadelle. Games Workshop already announced that Non Chaos warband would be playable at start.

Warhammer : Warcry is set for release in July. It's a new game that will be supported my multiple future release (no details Yet).

To increase the Hype, warhammer tv team made a LARP video ^^

The SplinteredFangs

New Chaos Warband for Warhammer : Warcry

These guys might hail from the Realm of Life, but they’ve got nothing but death for their foes! And snakes – lots and lots of snakes. These guys show off facets of Chaos rarely seen on the tabletop, as one of the insidious murder cults who use cunning as much as brute force to claim victory. Just like with the Iron Golems and Untamed Beasts, the Splintered Fang show off new aspects of Chaos – there’s even an aelf amongst them!

Underworld Season 3

Shadespire Underworld, is the Games Workshop card game in the Age of Sigmar world. he's continuing his successful existence with loads of events around the globe. The season 2 is coming to an End and they already announced the season 3.

Also they spoiled a model :

General Handbook 2019

The General Handbook is the ultimate Game Supplement for Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
The Edition 2019 is split into 2 books.

Open Play This year’s essential guide for gaming in the Mortal Realms is packed with content for every kind of player. For open play, a new Open War army generator means you’ll be able to rally your forces in moments, while close-quarters battles and Hidden Agendas offer fresh challenges for you to get your teeth into.

Narrative For narrative players, you’ll be able to get stuck in with an in-depth set of rules for fighting in the cities and ruins of the Mortal Realms in Streets of Death. New mercenary companies allow you to add a selection of narrative-led, thematic units to your army. Perhaps you’ll employ the Maneaters of the Gutstuffers, or a Gargant from the notorious Grugg Brothers. Meanwhile, characterful name generators for loads of factions mean you’ll never be with our an appropriately epic moniker for your favourite Hero!

Matched Play Matched play won’t just be receiving new battleplans, but rather a whole new way to play, aimed at making smaller games viable for tournaments and competitive events. Balanced around the 1,000-point mark, Meeting Engagements offer key twists on normal Warhammer Age of Sigmar gameplay, is fast to play and takes up a smaller space than a fully fledged game. This makes it ideal if you’re building up an army, fancy a new challenge or just want to squeeze as many gamers into your club as possible!

It's really interesting to see small points battle for Age of Sigmar getting focus. A lot of Small FLGS or Warhammer store do one day small Age of Sigmar tournaments but the game balance is always a bit meh. Now if we get Battleplan and "sutff" to play good games at 1k points sign me in !

Conclusion

-Warcry is going to be an Awesome Skirmish game in the Age of Sigmar setting.
-Shadespire Season 3 announced (never doubted it)
-Age of sigmar 1000 pt small tournament format
-General Handbook 2019 is 2 books instead of 1
